| Description | WASHINGTON -- Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., recommended today that President Barack Obama name Brian Jackson as a U.S. District Court judge and former U.S Rep. Don Cazayoux as U.S. attorney for the Baton Rouge-based Middle District of Louisiana. She also recommended Kevin Harrison, an assistant special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency in New Orleans, as U.S. Marshal for the Middle District.
Jackson, a former first assistant U.S. attorney and interim U.S. attorney for the Middle District, had been considered the likeliest alternative as Landrieu's choice for U.S. attorney in the New Orleans-based Eastern District if she had not decided to recommend that the president retain Republican Jim Letten. Jackson also served as associate deputy attorney general of the United States in 1998 and 1999.
The choice of Cazayoux for U.S. attorney had been talked about since the moment he was defeated last fall for re-election by Republican Bill Cassidy, six months after he had won the seat in a special election.
"Brian Jackson, Don Cazayoux and Kevin Harrison have outstanding records of public service and are uniquely qualified to serve the people of Louisiana and the nation," Landrieu said. "I am recommending to the president and Attorney General Holder the most fair-minded and capable choices for Louisiana's Middle District."
